Chickens and Corn on a Stick

By Published On: July 10th, 20250.4 min readCategories: Garden

When corn earworm makes a mess of an ear of sweet corn, it’s not a loss, it’s an opportunity to let the chickens have a snack and some entertainment.

I stick that corn on a stick and let the hens have at it. They clean the corn right down to the cob.

Here’s Wynona the hen showing us how efficient chickens are at cleaning an ear of sweet corn, earworms and all.

Sage Osterfeld
I’m just a guy with nearly an acre of dirt, a nice little mid-century ranch house and a near-perfect climate. But in my mind I’m a landscaper survivalist craftsman chef naturalist with a barbeque the size of a VW and my own cable TV show. I like to write about the stuff I build, grow and see here at Sage's Acre.
